<h2>Font overview</h2>

<p>Basic information about font is summarized in the <em>Font Information</em> tab which is open by default when you start the applicaiton. What it lists is:</p>

<ul>
	<li>full name of the font and its location in the system;</li>
	<li>glyphs count and type of the font file;</li>
	<li>information about designer and vendor;</li>
	<li>URL of the license and/or full text of the license where available;</li>
	<li>PANOSE metadata, where available;</li>
	<li>terms of use (embedding, editing etc.). </li>
</ul>

<p>Because Fontmatrix uses <a href="http://webkit.org">Webkit</a> for rendering this information, its appearance is somewhat customizable via CSS. You can create a custom CSS file, save it to <tt>/usr/share/fontmatrix/resources/</tt> and choose it in <em>Edit&nbsp;&gt; Preferences&nbsp;&gt; Display</em>.</p>
